At Maughan Design + Remodel, we've been helping home owners improve their living spaces and beautify their homes since 1995. We bring our decades of experience and passion for interior design and creative problem solving to every project. Our design-build process provides a truly integrated home design and remodeling experience - from precise planning and detailed design through construction and final walk-through.
We believe that design is an integral part of a successful remodeling project. While design includes the exciting things, like fixtures, materials and colors, at its core, good design is anchored in planning and problem solving. It's what we love to do - create beautiful, functional spaces that make our clients fall in love with where they live.
It shows on every page of our construction documents, where each carpenter and sub will find information tailored specifically to their trade. From framing details to material transitions to functional lighting, our plan sets are field tested with years of experience behind every call-out. We meet at your place, and we listen.
Our clients tell us that they truly appreciated our one-on-one personalized service, meticulous attention to detail, clear communication, and our ability to create a stress-free project. See for yourself! I contracted for a whole house remodel. Amazing company. Kathie, the company owner is reliable, honest good listener, and very intuitive.
Meet with us for a no-cost consultation at our studio in NW Portland. Clients usually bring photos and sketches of their projects for brainstorming and advice, and we look through available project books from dozens of recently completed projects showing job scopes and budgets to help build an understanding of the remodel process.

When we decided to remodel our kitchen in Sep 2020, we found many potential companies. After interviewing several companies we selected Maughan Design & Remodel. We’re so happy we picked the right company! The owner Kathie is down to earth, talented in design as well as a general contractor, and she has great business integrity. The whole team in Maughan Design & Remodel are very easy to work with. From design to construction, every team member ensures great quality and professionalism. They were very responsive, always catered to our requests, and answered every one of concerns. Our life was

We did a kitchen remodel in 2013 with Maughan Design and knew who to call when we were ready to update the rest of our house. Kathie is a master at redefining a space. She thinks outside the box and comes up with creative solutions. Cassidy is amazing with details and she and Kathie work seamlessly to put everything together and manage the team. We love the way they interviewed us to learn our preferences and lifestyle and come up with options. They were so patient and positive with us as we made so many decisions. We also had positive interactions with every one of their employees and sub-contractors

I loved working with Kathie and Angie for kitchen design plans. We were debating on whether or not to work with a designer for our kitchen remodel. Since we are doing the work ourselves (my husband is a cabinet maker among other things), we weren't sure if hiring a designer would really be necessary or worth the additional cost. After meeting with Kathie, we decided to go for it and we are so glad we did! I'm detail-oriented and thought I had figured out most of the design elements already but soon realized there was so much more to think about and plan for than I had anticipated. Kathie also added

We are SO happy our neighbor referred us to Maughan Design & Remodel! We had been wanting to do a kitchen/family room remodel/expansion for several years, but had a couple failed attempts at finding a design that would get us what we wanted without completely rebuilding…
Then in walked Kathie Maughan! I do not even know how to describe this, but during our first meeting it was clear she was the one who could listen, understand, and bring our vision to life. She clearly has some sort of special talent for visualizing what she has to work with and what her client wants to end up with – it was

HER VIEW: SIMMER, SIZZLE, HOT!
Our designer/builder took a walk through our tired, water-damaged kitchen and within 10 minutes casually suggested a move of the refrigerator into the pantry; later identified the wasted space of the “pony wall”. The new design included many other details each of which led from a ho-hum to H O T kitchen! We love the spacious feel, durable materials, and simple sparkling beauty of the result.
DETAILS I ENJOY:
Commercial vinyl heat-sealed plank flooring (from water damaged maple wood)
Spacious quartz countertop (from Formica rough sawn)
Under-mount stainless

We worked primarily with Lancea for the design and planning of our 1940s era kitchen renovation. Coming into the project our goals were #1 to add a dishwasher and #2 rejuvenate the kitchen and breakfast nook without destroying the existing charm. We were pretty hands-off and open minded; Lancea and Kathie came up with a tasteful "refresh" that seamlessly blended with the existing style. The project finished on time and on budget and the work crew was clean and professional. Communication with Lancea and the foreman was easy and timely. We ended up making one small change a few weeks after completion

I was a bit intimidated by the prospects of remodeling our kitchen. The people at Maughan Design helped me find peace and confidence. Their experience and expertise put me at ease. They dealt professionally with doubts and concerns. I came to trust them and I have not been disappointed.
Every person who entered our home, whether Maughan Design employee or subcontractor, was respectful of our family and our home. Their attitudes and professionalism sprinkled the project with many enjoyable moments.
I love our new kitchen.

My husband and I first worked with Kathie to design a kitchen for our first home, a 1888 Victorian Farmhouse. Since then, we've used her to design a bathroom upstairs, as well helping us choose a paint color for the exterior of our house. For all projects, she was willing to work with us so we could DIY some of the project, such as painting and tileing.
I think Kathie is an exceptional designer, whose experience allows her to work quickly and creatively, delivering huge value to a project. She is excellent at communicating design concepts, thinks aloud, and brings you along for the ride. She truly

Last Christmas my husband surprised me with a present of a complete kitchen remodel for our vacation home. Isn't that a great present? Well I was thrilled but worried. Our vacation home is 3200 miles away! How do you accomplish such a major remodel so far away? Sounds scary, right? Well my husband had researched designers and hired Maughan Design. Kathie and her team could not have been better. Kathie was a dream to work with. We had many phone consultations that included emailing ideas, design details and lots of pictures. Kathie interpreted my ideas with her great sense of style and practicality
